Award-winning Ghanaian artiste and man of the moment, Black Sherif has disclosed what drives his urge for music and creativity.
In an interview with NY DJ, host of 102.5 FM’s “Ryse N Shyne”, reiterated that he drives his musical prowess from “real and conscious” sounds.
“My mom is a big fan of Highlife and when I saw my dad for the first time the first thing he put me on was Reggae. So I had a fusion of Highlife and Reggae so I’ve been singing reggae tunes from like 9years old,” he shared.
According to Black Sherif, his love for music surfaced at the age of nine years falling in love with Don Carlos’ ‘Harvest Time’, his “forever favourite”.
“You know sometimes during Creative Arts classes you see you reach sometime meant for performances so in like class four I was singing Don Carlos’ ‘Harvest Time’. That has been like my favorite song forever, since since and I still sing every morning. So yeah I tap into that and I feel like every sound and imagination I had when I was a kid is still in me,” he added.
Blacko has been the talk of the town after he released his debut album, “The Villian I Never Was”, gaining the endorsement of Ghanaians and some elite artistes.
The album described by most as a masterpiece had only Burna Boy featured on ‘Second Sermon’ with other hits like ‘Soja’, ‘Prey Da Youngsta’, ‘Oil in my Head’, ‘Konongo Zongo’ and ‘Wasteman’ among others.
